Central CSD

Attention any students entering grades 7-12. Football OTA's (Organized Team Activities) will begin on July 6th in the small gym. Students will need gym shoes and cleats as we will be going to the practice field following what we will be doing in the small gym. At OTA's we will focus on football specific movements, agilities, football fundamentals and team building activities. The schedule for OTA's will go as follows: Mondays 6-8 pm and Wednesdays 6-8 pm. We will always meet in the little gym. As for safety precautions to help keep your athlete safe will be following very similar precautions as Coach Bormann is in the weight room. https://docs.google.com/document/d/18cwHFIHZ_nBD64FBrVKOeMvTYurmg_CUYHk3m__n25w/edit I look forward to working with all of your athletes!

Central Community, Central has put together a task force to develop our Return to Learn Plan which is due to the State on July 1st. This plan is fluid and we are allowed to make changes at anytime. The most recent guidance from the Iowa Department of Education is attached below. At this time school districts are allowed to move forward with on-site learning! We will post our Return to Learn Plan to our website once that is completed. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ITUxNyse_wrCvwAJLEwpN0wmLdj2PxoV/view?usp=sharing Mr. Trenkamp
